We sought to provide a place for nations recover and heal with the invitation: "We don’t ask you where you were and what you did. Here with us only what you are and do now and in the future counts. This is your place to start over, leave the past behind and move on." NATO and TFD have shared a close relationship since TFD's inception, and NATO eventually joined TFD on the Blue sphere in 2010. NATO has fought for TFD, and TFD for NATO. As "Blood Brothers," we have worked in tandem to promote our shared ideals to our members, rejoiced in our differences and disagreements, and strived to protect one another's interests. On 9 August 2012, the government of The Foreign Division unanimously decided to merge into NATO and end TFD's existence as an independent alliance. As general guidelines to the transition, NATO hereby: [list] [*]Accepts as full members all current members of TFD; [*]Pledges to protect the TFD name, intellectual property and history, and continue to honour our dual membership treaty (Foreign Article 5), including protection for the Alliance Affiliation of The Foreign Division; [*]Takes over responsibility for TFD's protectorate treaty with House Atreides; and, [*]Adopts TFD's war flag as our war flag, in tribute to TFD. [/list] I joined The Foreign Division in my first week of CyberNations nearly five years ago and my nation has never worn another Alliance Affiliation until now. Our many memories of great and feisty times will serve to embolden a new season of rad adventures within NATO. RIP TFD o/ NATO

o/ NATO [quote name='Crushtania' timestamp='1296727835' post='2617582'] our current belligerents, TFD. [/quote] MHA belligered TFD, bud. [quote name='Crushtania' timestamp='1296735475' post='2617640'] You have made a clear declaration to MHA where we stand in relation to you. As a harbinger of peace, I cannot help but feel that I have failed in some way if a treaty is canceled, irrespective of the circumstances under which it occurred. [/quote] Yes, when your harbingers of war declared on TFD, you essentially declared on NATO, your treaty partners. It's all good though. We're all havin' fun and not panicking

Be careful you don't have desert sand in all those desserts.

[quote name='mrcalkin' timestamp='1290187398' post='2517470'] Pretty impressive growth for sure. Not too many alliances can say they have doubled their tech or almost doubled their infra since bipolar. I doubt very many can say they gained 40+ members either. [/quote] That's mainly our Zenith friends joining us </Keepin' it real> o/ TFD !! in re: Foreign Affairs, who knows (hence the request to come chat with us!), but we're still individually tied to all (or most) of the ol' PnL crew.

Welcome! Seems long overdue! Glad you're here with your closer friends

o/ TFD o/ VN WHOOO!

Sometimes you gotta do what you feel you have to do. Good luck on the road ahead VN.

o/ CCC o/ TFD I look forward to continuing to get to know each other even better!

Excellent! Glad to have this finalized!

o/ TFD o/ NATO Onwards and upwards, friends.

o/ All involved.

o/ TFD We fought hard and well, but were simply overwhelmed in the end. Good fighting all around. B) Well, except this: But the war is behind us and we won't talk about that Oh, also: A man after my own heart. o/ Blue Team

Wouldn't you be Finland? B)

Hello DW.

Good evening, Tonight we come to talk to you about Friendship. Like the bonds created after an alliance who had absolutely no obligations towards us came in our defence and helped us in our darkest hour. Since then, our debt to NATO has been unpaid. Tonight, we will honor their sacrifice that allowed us to come this far. Tonight, we will honor the friendship bonds forged back then. We're not here to fight for Pacifica nor for any other alliance. We stand only by the commitment we made towards our friends. With that said, The Foreign Division declares a state of war now exists between us and The German Empire. We have absolutely no ill feelings towards TGE, we will however fight to defend our friends. We expect a clean war where both of us can have fun. And now an updated map of the state of the so called The Schlieffen Plan: Brief description: At this time The military of The Foreign Division was mobilized upon word of invasion by The German Empire into the lands of The North Atlantic Treaty Organization. As of this posting, The Foreign Division Senate recognizes a state of war between The Foreign Division and The German Empire as outlined in Article Four of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization-The Foreign Division Mutual Defense and Optional Aggression Pact.

Do TFD a favor and take our alliance name off your profile here on the OWF (since you left ... )

Congrats Friends!! May our bonds continue to strengthen! o/ NV o/ Blue Team p.s. awesome flags!

No April Foolin' here! Here is the recently finalized government of The Foreign Division: Minister of Security: ZeroSolider Minister of Foreign Affairs: SupremePrince Minister of Internal Affairs: GearHead Minister of Economic Affairs: Thierra Director of the Bank: Legend For the observant ones, you'll notice that we divided the Bank out and gave it its own Minister-level manager. Also, everyone should drop by our new forums to see the April Fool's Joke our Admins played on us. I leave it at this: "The Fluffy Division".

Exactly. No ill will to the friendly Farkers; we just couldn't get our mojo back together.

Congrats, Friends. o/ MCXA o/ Blue Team
